This is what happens when more than half the company is away attending the Salesforce cult-indoctrination stuff while spending all their bandwidth making customers/partners feel good.... The stuff that matters to keep the lights on gets overlooked.
- gigatree 19d agoArguably, making customers and partners feel good is the more important part of the business
- walt_grata 19d agoThey wont feel good if the product they pay for doesnt work
- chaboud 19d agoFrom what I can tell, the business model is "it doesn't work, but you can pay folks exorbitant fees to 'customize' it for you"... Also see: Oracle

- paimapi 19d agoarguably, this is what sales cares about and the half-measures taken to tackle what must be the Mt. Everest of tech debt at Salesforce is what leads to large, systemically degraded customer trust in products that keep shipping bugs
- orochimaaru 19d agoI don’t think engineering and SRE of the organizing company are ever invited to those events. They’re mainly for marketing and sales (which includes solution architects).
- dominotw 19d agothis event is only for customers. its not a company event.
- SaucyWrong 19d agoI'm an ex-Salesforce engineer and I can attest that very few line-level engineers are ever invited to attend Dreamforce. This would have been an ordinary day at the office for the SRE team.
